@ dmichel123, I suggest you uninstall Windows, reinstall and activate legitimately. I can't see the pictures, they're too small. But I'll assume that you've tried to 'crack' the activation on build 7600?If that's the case, reinstall. Also, where did you get 7600 from? The ISO i've got doesn't carry the desktop watemark nor do any others i've heard of

This is amazing! A few days ago, I got a ghost message (I just made that up) that I needed to backup my hdd because this was an evaluation copy and would expire in 9 days. It has been approximately 9 days and nothing has happened. In the first place I did not know that I had an evaluation copy. I bought it when it was first released and got a cut rate to buy the pre-release ($50.00 if I recall) I had no idea that it was anything other than a full license. So I have done all the things to check my license and I find that it expires 11-30-2011 and that i can rearm 4 times. My question is: should I wait until closer to 11-30 or do it now while i know how to do it or what?

I did some checking around and found out that the evaluation copy came when I updated to sp1 (beta). You live and learn - don't put beta on an important computer. So to fix the problem, I went to control panel, remove programs and uninstalled it. After two or three restarts, the watermark was removed. I did winver and the sp1 was gone. I tried windows update, but it hasn't decided that I need SP1 yet so no upgrade to SP1 until Microsoft says so, or I get in a hurry again.
